The issue is that the intending migrants and the general public are ignorant as to asylum law. The public think of asylum as some far reaching, grandiose humanitarian gesture- when the truth is that asylum laws provide an EXTREMELY LIMITED basis of relief. \n\nMerely coming from a dangerous country is NOT enough to win asylum, in the U.S. or Canada. A person must prove they are specifically persecuted, by the GOVERNMENT, because of some specific basis. A Central American claiming Central America is full of gangs and poverty, while true, is NOT a basis for asylum. This is why it's my personal belief that the thousands of Haitians making a run for the Canadian border have an almost zero chance of receiving asylum- ESPECIALLY after NOT living in Haiti for many years. \n\nIn spite of this, migrants still make these claims because it forces the country to go through a time consuming legal process, and is a way to buy time and prevent their deportation. Or perhaps allow them time to find a local job, continue their education, or have a child born in the country and then make a humanitarian argument to allow them to stay, even after losing their asylum case. \n\nThe truth is, unless a country holds asylum seekers in detention for the entirety of the process, it's a given that failed asylum seekers will NOT return to their country of origin, and will simply go underground.

This upsets me a great deal! My father was a vet, who served , And Trudeau says no money is avaiable, My dad he died ok, and you can give money to a refugee,and shaft my mother who is a widow. Shame on you ! Its true that the refugeess ,get a house,a car , etc, and yet low income Canadians who are on a waitlist get shafted for the low income housing.. We have homeless folks who suffer from Mental illness are seniors on the streets in Calgary alberta,and are waiting for a place to live . In regards to jobs , Canadian employers will hire the refugee over a Canadian because he or she will play the RACE CARD. . CBC wake up! This is the reality of what is happening !.. Folks next election vote TRUDEAU OUT!

We cannot support refugees that are not by definition of our laws actually refugees. If you want to apply for imigration that is fine too. On top of all this i believe they should also be asking for permission from the native people of this land who are the true owners of this place, but there is no system in place to even consult native tribes.

THIS IS A GREAT SHOW. I AM GLAD TO VIEW IT. BUT THEN...I AM SAD ABOUT THIS SHOW''S USE OF LANGUAGE WHEN DESCRIBING SKIN COMPLEXION AND ''''''''''''''ENSLAVEMENT'''''''''''''. Any, and all, and every human can be caught in that bind.\n\n[[[ me-too ]]]: I CAME FROM A LINEAGE AND ANCESTRY OF PEOPLE WHO WERE STOLEN FROM AFRICA AND BROUGHT TO THE LANDMASS THAT WOULD BE CALLED AMERICA AND THEY WERE DEHUMANIZED TO AN INTH DEGREE, NO-HOLDS-BARRED WHATSOEVER... WHATEVER '''''EVIL'''' IS CAPABLE OF DOING TO ATROCITIZE A HUMAN BODY WAS DONE TO MY ANCESTRY AND LINEAGE...BUT I DID LEARN THAT IT WAS NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR SKIN COMPLEXION....THAT CAME LATER AND IT HAD A SERENDIPITOUS KIND OF ENTRY INTO THE LARGEST TRANS-CONTINENTAL '''''SLAVE TRADE''''''------NO!------''''''ENSLAVEMENT TRADE''''' IN THE LAST 500 YEARS OF MODERN HISTORY. BUT YOU SEE....THAT IS THE POINT. THIS HELL ON EARTH WAS JUST ONE PERIOD OF ATROCITY LIKE.\n\nSO. THE POINT IS; right now.....right now....it has been said there are as many as: 200,000 to 4 million people held in bondage in America and forced to behave and act like something called a ''''slave''''. The people are beaten and starved and raped and cut, and all such evils to force them to give up their ''''personal will''' and admit wholeheartedly that they are a '''''slave'''''. And this is true for millions of years or hundreds of thousands of years in ''''the humane experience'''' all around the planet Earth. Everywhere. And, by all people. Enslavement is something our ''specie''' will do to each other but usually on a small scale....not in the millions for centuries. And the people have all kinds of complexion. \nTHERE IS A LUCRATIVE INTERNATIONAL '''ENSLAVEMENT TRADE GOING ON RIGHT NOW'''' BUT WE CALL IT ''''TRAFFICKING''''' BECAUSE EUROPEANS ARE ENSLAVED IN THE TRADING AS WELL AS ANYONE ELSE..\n\nWHAT IS MY POINT? My point is:: my lineage and ancestry were not slaves....they were not slaves....they were ENSLAVED.....ENSLAVED.... ENSLAVED....ENSLAVED...ENSLAVED.\nWe can begin there to understand this atrocious behavior in the dys-human (evil) beings among us. We cannot fight what we do not know and understand. They were NEVER slaves; they aren't slaves today: they are enslaved. And when we join together and free them from enslavement they can start their lives without that banner still injuring their lives.\nTHEY WERE NEVER SLAVES; THEY ARE NEVER SLAVES: THEY ARE PEOPLE CAUGHT IN A BIND *in bondage* AND DEHUMANIZED TO AN INTH DEGREE BUT STILL THEY ARE A PERSON INSIDE WHO NEEDS TO BE SET FREE. (DON'T MARK PEOPLE FOREVER BECAUSE EVIL CAME UPON THEM.)\n --margaret opine, cultural anthropologist

The most racism I experienced in school was from teachers. Its the most profound kind of racism, because they are authority figures. The thing is when your fellow students display racism it doesn't have the same gravity as it does when your teacher does it because you know your teacher does know better but they truly believe it.In University, I actually had a teacher give a lesson that was so tinged with racism that it really broke me down, because what I've come to realize is that so many people think that being racist is saying actual racist words and don't understand that perpetuating stereotypes are the most prevalent forms of racism.  It is demoralizing because it feels like a losing battle when your teacher is perpetuating racially disparaging ideas to an entire class, and you think about how many people are going to be influenced by that idea and in turn perpetuate it. I realized that this teacher really insidiously believed what she was saying was true, but that it just wasn't politically correct to say it. The main principle of white privilege is that white people get to be individuals but people of colour get grouped together by the most base stereotype of their race.  I don't think Black-focused schools are the solution. I think more integrated schools with diverse populations of students and teachers are the solution.\n Then there are concrete issues of race, space and the law. For example when you come to realize that carding continues in Toronto, and that most residents do not care that young Black men are being harassed and treated like criminals by the police because it does not affect their community, it makes you wonder if people are only inclined to feel empathy for those who look like them.

Regardless of what your political stance is no country in the world is okay with massive amounts of immigration. Most of these people never assimilate and become productive members of society. No country is capable to support the influx of people, it's unfortunate but true.

This is true, it happens ,,,, WE ARE ALL ONE. CREATED BY GOD from adam and eve. STAND UP FOR THE RIGHTS. I got emotional with 25 minutes- on ,,, it touched my heart

Muslim cook asked me if a table of mennonites were Jews with disgust on his face. I read, I know the true sentiment.

LOL I wasn't forced into it, so being told from birth that to be a good muslim isn't force. Well I suppose that's technically true brainwashed people believe it's their choice. Well OUR choice is to hate the niqab

Americans are our best friends.......Canadians have a bad perception of Americans, and none of its true......great people, and great country & a great culture.......lived in Michigan for 30 years, and enjoyed every minute.......now I have American son and Daughter, and Michigan born grandkids.......love the USA......Canada really blows.....too socialist

The media has a love affair with Islam. Any Muslim making an allegation whether it is true or not, is portrayed as fact by the media, no questions asked.

Did she just list honor killings as a part of Islam??? This journalist needs to research the religion properly because honor killings are not condoned whatsoever... this concept is just belted out by haters who are on a smear campaign of Islam. And then this journalist gave that farzana lady the last word of her 'critical' views on Islam it just undid everything the Muslims were doing before her giving a clearer picture of Islam, farzana lady will just make people confused I mean those are her personal opinions but how does it help this piece? Also last time I checked following fashion trends is not synonymous to peer pressure as what journalist wants to suggest that girl was peer pressured in to wearing the scarf when she clearly explained she wasn't. And when that guy was talking about teaching women Islamic studies journalist is like but you just teach them Islam not anything else WELL it's a mosque that's what people usually do if they want to learn religion they go to place of worship, if they want to learn something else they go to school or university. She's just twisting their words to give this undertone to the piece that yes the stereotypes are true but Muslims are still somewhat ok. Just stop spreading the hate and provide non-bias journalism!

If the mainstream media had to pass a simple test on the very basics of Islam, they would all get an F, because they are very ignorant about what it is really all about. Repeating a lie does not make it true.

Islam is a sectarian religion. Wherever the Muslims rule, it is a ruin. It is a backward and racist religion that has embraced and understood true Islam

Canada must stop entering Muslim in their country..I m sure they ruined Canada its sure n 100% true.

They cover up just so not to get beat up by their appointed chosen husband & not out of respect to not show off as is simply not the case or true. There men of their culture are so insecure as otherwise why not take pride & show your bride in modest but cute clothing as is in the Western world. Men can flex & puff up & not need to shut up but women being denied to show their beauty is selfish. They are bound up like a mummy & gagged like a hostage, what the hell is wrong with this picture?

Christ is the truth prophet, I had vision of Christ, Christian is the answer to our true path toward god

Every anti-Muslim comment is either from a dirty shill or an evangelical sellout who are not true Christians.

I'm fucking disgusting by all of these comments what the actual fuck? If you don't know the religion then shut the fuck up holy shit some of u r so fucking dumb. Isnt it funny how the media always tag MUSLIM when a Muslim person killed someone but when a Christian did it they cover it up? Isn't it weird how so many kids in Syria and Palestine died n it didn't made a huge deal. Why? Bc theyre Muslim. Man I'm fucking disgusted by these generation. I have Muslim friends they're the nicest people I've known. Don't compare Isis and muslims bc true Muslims NEVER kill people so shut the fuck up

It's true muslims don't respect others faiths or religions......THEY ARE A VERY SELFISH AND DISRESPECTFUL GROUP OF PEOPLE

To the hateful ignorant comments stating that isis is killing christians, yes it's true they have. However, they have killed far more muslims than the media publishes (go search about the Jordanian man who was burned alive) \nAlso, Mohammed might have married what is now considered to be underage, but let me remind you that it was over a thousand years ago. It was culturally acceptable even in the western world and Europe for girls to be married at a young age and to men significantly older. Argument invalid. Hate won't help anyone

And True dope is letting thousands in. What ever a man sow's he shall also reap. - Galatians 6:7.

But.. but white people tell me all the time that racism doesent exist. No way this is true.

Always. The blame pointed at us TRUE Canadians. The fear comes from not knowing which of you are good or bad. Don't blame Harper. I watched a group of you downtown demanding blasphemy against Mohammad be made illegal. HERE, in Canada. You people are sick. Go home

The West needs to wake up and study the Koran and Hadith, life of Mohammed to fully understand that although many Muslims are good, the doctrine of Islam itself what is demanded in Islam, is very dangerous and incompatible to Western ideals and lifestyle. It's aim is to implement Islam and Islamic law throughout all lands, violently if needed. The people that are true Muslims, actually follow the Koran and example of Mohammed are called radicals when in fact, they're the true followers of Islam. Therefore, Islam should be banned itself due to National Security for it preaches the overthrow of current secular Governments and replacement with all under the eventual control of Islam once numbers and their power make it possible. Also, remember Taquiyya wher Muslims can lie to protect and promote Islam, so can you really trust any Muslim?

Niqab is a Culture thing nothing to do as a religion , we need somebuddy to Translate Qurhan in a Reall meaning of it , in Qurhan Said if somebuddy Steals or rob something make his hand short , but those Guys to Control people translated to cut stealer hands buruk its not the the right or true meaning , the true meaning to help him to not rob or steale again

99% true Muslims will put the law of the country they live in a back seat. All they want is their Shariah law implemented and that means the country will have to give up it's law and adopt Shariah and everyone to be abide by it. Just so the Muslims there will be happy and satisfied. That's their ultimate goal.

So true they teach them only Islam they don't want to become American. They degrade woman.

Islam should fear their accused infidels, you all have declared war againt all that is true and good in the world; generations ago.

What's very interesting here in America ,i have heard white person say go back to the country that you came from then they assumed it was from Africa. But the person saying the statement was acting if America was where his ancestors are from. Not ever mentioned that whites came here to America from Europe. The native American Indians, America is there true home of their ancestors according to history. Not white Europeans who's ancestors came from where. So how can a mis-inform white person think for a minute think that they are more intitled to a country over any other person of any race ?Someone explain to me. Probably another white person who feels the same that this is their country and doesn't belong to any other race ?

Canada is so far ahead in dealing with a true multi race society! Wow!!! It's impressive! Other countries should only hope to get near to this standard. Canada is not all the way there yet but if they continue trying like this. Wow!!!

Come to me with that bull shit when im drinking my Dragon Stout, I would sweep the area, if u want Sharia law then fuck off, true Muslims mind there own........

If people went in search of their true nature, which can't be denied,that would send everybody back home, this is a spiritual warfare.

Religion of peace, this is a joke, ISIS and\nAl-Qaida represent the true teaching of Islam, there is no moderate Islam or\npeaceful Islam, Read the quran you will see what I am saying. “Islam an 'evil\nand wicked religion of HATE !”

They may seem harmless now, but wait until muslims become the majority... That's when we'll truly see their true colours. It's only a matter of time until the entirety the west becomes a caliphate to the Islamic state. The west has become emasculated and weak, making it ripe for plundering.

the reason why i hate islam is , they dont have universal acceptence , they consider there religion to be the only true religion and all others to be foolish

PRESIDENT OBAMA's VISIT TO MOSQUE.\nHE WROTE ON HIS TIMELINE.\nToday, I had the privilege of visiting the Islamic Society of Baltimore, a mosque that serves thousands of Muslim\nAmerican families. Like houses of worship across our country, it's a place where neighbors come together to pray, a school\nwhere students learn, and a health clinic where volunteers serve their community. My visit was a chance to celebrate the\ncontributions that Muslim Americans make to our country every day and to reaffirm the founding ideals that keep our nation strong, including the freedom of religion.\nGenerations of Muslim Americans have helped build our country as farmers, merchants and workers on Henry Ford's assembly line. They're the teachers who inspire our kids, and the nurses and doctors whom we trust with our health. They're scientists who win Nobel Prizes and young entrepreneurs creating new technologies. They're the champions we cheer for – from Muhammad Ali to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. They're the police and firefighters who keep us safe, and the men and women in uniform who have fought and bled and died for our freedom.\nRight now, though, many Muslim Americans are worried because threats and harassment against their community, their families and their children are on the rise. But we are one American family, and an attack on one faith is an attack on all our faiths. When any religious group is targeted, we all have a responsibility to speak up. We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. At a time when others are trying to divide us along religious lines, we have to\nreaffirm that most fundamental truth – that we are all God's children, all born equal with inherent dignity.\nI want every Muslim American who may be wondering where they fit in to know that you're right where you belong - right\nhere, because you're part of America, too. You are not Muslim or American. You are Muslim AND American. I want every American to know that Muslim communities are standing up for peace and justice as well. That's the spirit I felt on my visit today. And I'm absolutely confident that if we stay true to the values and ideals that bind us as one people, we're going to\nremain strong and united.

2:03 hah we thats not true you brainwashed fuck

Its true people in Canada specifically white folks are uncomfortable and sensitive on having an open discussion on racism

Out of love and support for you & Hannah, I always try to click the ads. You know it's true love when I clicked on a KFC ad, I threw up in my mouth a little bit I did it! ;) :p

muslim women in the middle east would argue that niqab and burkas ISN'T a choice and is oppression. \npeople in the west who argue otherwise don't know true islam.\nhowever, don't hate muslims. they are the victims of terrible indoctrination. they are good people with good intentions who sadly subscribe to the cult of Islam.

you should sign up for welfare get food stamps health insurance and Obama phones like a true minimalist G

People real Islam is not a religion of peace! Read the Koran and you will see! It's true that most Muslims are peaceful,but most Muslims like Christians follow the traditions of their Mosque or Church but do not follow the full letter of the Koran or Bible. True Koran believing Muslims who follow the full letter of the word of the Koran are violent and are not tolerant of other religions. they are a threat to any civilized society! Wake up people this radical evil religion will do nothing but cause pain and suffering to any country who tolerates it! Christianity is a religion of love and peace,a religion who's member are full of a holy,righteous spirit and compassion for their fellow man. A religion that is freely given and freely received and a religion to never be forced on another human being! We as a civilized people must never bow down to evil, even if our evil government try to force us to . We must all stay true and firm to our God and our brothers in Christ no matter what the cost! Peace and love to all!

I'd like to address this to the woman who went to one of Trump's rallies dressed as a Moslem with her head covered with a scarf and having a sign that reads, 'I come in peace'. I don't know why she was asked to be escorted out, but by her own words the people in the crowd were throwing questions at her as to whether she had a bomb under her cloak. Well, whether she knew it or not, she provoked the crowd by wearing the mark of a Moslem - her cloak. Also, by going to the rally dressed the way she was, she knew before hand that she'd be treated that way. On her part, I see that as provocation. Had she gone plainly dressed or attired like everybody else, there would have been no adverse reaction toward her. I don't know what she could have said why she was asked to be escorted out, but she fully knows that the whole of America had been given the real and true picture of Islam - one of terror, murder, beheading, bombs, war, and blood. How do Moslems expect the most compassionate, kind, benevolent people in the world to act? So, please, use your common sense and do not see America as the enemy, the aggressor, or the provocateurs. They're not. They are just being vigilant knowing that the enemy could be so sly, cunning and untrustworthy. Islamic people,we welcomed you to our country. Don't think that we are not watching you. We have given you a new start for a happy life compared to the life you have had in your native lands, but we are guarding against an invasion that your evil governments have designed for our beloved country. The truth of the matter is that you are our guests in our country, and you don't have he right to demand of us what you like, especially when you want us to change our laws just to accommodate or please you. The more attacks you perpetrate against Americans, the more we will be true to our resolve to deport you. Good Moslems, show your rage against the radicals amongst you. If you don't, you'll be sorry, because willy nilly, you'll be affected too. You cannot be in America and refuse to live by the laws we live by.

Let us look to reality of the total number of Muslims and how it is divided:\nthey said it is fastest growing religion in the World (they assumed is about 1.5 billion Muslims.\n\n1. 1/3 of that may be women which subdude by men & has 1/4 right if compared to man's right.\n\n2. 1/3 are kids just considered to be Muslims by birth\n\n3. 25 % of the Muslims are Shiah which the Suni considered the shiah are not true Muslim & vise verse.\n\n4. there are 10 % Ahamadia which the Suni & Shia considered the Ahmadia are not Muslim.\n\nSo, tell me how the Islam is the fastest religion growing in the face of earth.\n\nDo you know that in Egypt and Saudi Arabia the number of Atheists are growing from Islamic back ground.

Why do you call people who talk true about islam islamophobic and racist while muslims can insult people in their own country? This political correctness is really annoying

Oh yeah, mainstream media: Let's cry some more over those poor poor victims. No no, not the dead people lying in their own pools of blood - victims of Islam. Yeah, let's cry over the poor muslims, let's cry over the religion of the perpetrators. Those poor people who are up to conquer the world with war and terror. They are of course the true victims here, because some bad bad westerners dare to ask questions. Thanks to Allah however we have to mainstream media. Working towards islamisation of the western world since 9/11.

We all know that Muslims consider the Quran to be true an they try their best to follow it so I ask did anyone read Dre Quran an all the peace loving things is tells Muslims to do or is everyone somehow missing that part ?

KiLL x Smite the necks x Strike off necks x Strike off finger tip x Behead x Suicide x Jihad = Islam\n Quran's God order to kill all non muslim \nQuran sura Sura Al-Imran Ch3:110_You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind\n Al-Maeda Ch5:51-O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies\n Al-Tawba CH 9:5 kill the idolaters (Christians and Jews) wherever ye may find them \nSura Muhammad CH 47:4 So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks \nAl -Anfal CH 8:12 strike off their necks then, and strike off from them every finger tip\nAl-Anfa CH8:65_ O thou prophet! urge on the believers to kill\nAl-Baqara CH 2:216 Prescribed for you is killing but it is hateful to you \nAl-Baqara CH 2:191 Kill them wherever ye find them,\nAl-Baqara CH 2;244 And killed in the way of Allah \nKiLL x KiLL x KiLL x KiLL x KiLL x KiLL = Islam ~ Islam is not from the real true GOD

I don't believe the Muslim on the streets story about being attacked it sounded like BS. she wants to be a victim. Ask her if she will condemn Hamas that's the true question
